Summertime: A Much Needed Break

So we're about a month and a half into our summer vacation and I hope everyone is enjoying it. For some, it's a great time to kick back, drink a beer, listen to some CCR, meet up with friends and family, go to shows, go somewhere far far away from the photo basement. For others, like myself, it's somewhat of a halt. Considering that most of the seniors from last year are graduating in January, there is undoubtedly a sense of a want to finish up and move on. This is how I've felt of recent weeks (living in my dad's basement, one can understand), however, realizing that only one semester (two for others) stands between you and graduation, it is essential to ease into a much needed break from academia.
I'm not saying shutting off your brain completely is the conclusive element, but rather taking comfort in knowing you got 2 more months before things start heating up again. We're so wound on school and finances that sometimes we forget about the recreational moments that we most wholeheartedly enjoy. So yeah, take a day to sit on your ass, go to the zoo, visit a friend abroad, take a walk with a family member, get to know others. Do something now because honestly it may be a long time before vacation time awaits us in the "real world".
